The Obama Diary 
Morning everyone. She will always be our Forever First Lady:)
Morning TOD, df. Yes she will !!
Morning to you!
Yes, she will. Forever!!!!! What a fantastic and uplifting way to begin the day. Thank you, NW!
Wonder if George realizes he’s married to Kellyann?
LOL:)

BREAKING From Trump’s ‘Doctors’: Most Remarkable Physical Specimen of All Time!
At 7 feet tall, 200 lbs. and 0% body fat, Donald John Trump is the healthiest president—indeed, head of state of any kind—ever. Oh, and he has huge hands.

A Memo On The President’s Health
By Drs. David Dennison, John Barron, and John Miller
LOL:)
Dolt45 is up with another series of tweets this morning, lying that the money used to pay Cohen didn’t come from the campaign.
trying to cover up the awful performance of Rudy last night.
That, and the twitter warriors who came up with the payment schedule – FROM THE CAMPAIGN – that came to 130k, within like a dollar….
It’s in the comments of the latest post over at TPV-
So yeah….they paid him with campaign funds.
One would think that the first thing you would do is to DENY that you had sex with a porn star. But not this group, not only are they not denying it, but they are doubling down and admitting to paying her.
As I was watching Rachel and Lawrence last night I was thinking to myself. This can’t be real, these people can’t possibly defend Trump in a court of law. I thought I was watching the keystone cops for lawyers last night.
What an Inspiration …Michelle Obama is….She Looks Marveloussssssssssssss….
thank you for showcasing the bright bright light….despite the corruption that is the white house…Michelle Obama…keeps us looking Up and Forward…and there are some days when i need this so much
We love your Forever FLOTUS!!!
Another thought about Rudy
I don’t understand how that would work. That’s might what they are hoping for, but I don’t think that’s going to fly.
More tinfoil hat about Rudy
I just don’t see how Trump can fire Mueller and not face impeachment, to fire Mueller goes against everything that our institutions stand for. If this country had the stones to elect a black man for President, surely that same country won’t stand idly by and let a man like Trump destroy its rule of law.
I love this bit of culture…i was an avid head wrapper in my time….still wrap but not as much….smilin…
GM all.
Does anyone do Twitter and follows Stephanie Rule on MSNBC?
This morning she slandered PBO saying he did nothing on trade to deal with China. Obviously she forgot or does not know about TPP. Can someone who knows her Twitter handle give her a reminder and ask her to correct this false statement? When we let these things pass they get repeated and become fact for some.
Absolutely NOT what I wanted to do!
Our beloved FLOTUS knows how to have fun wherever she goes!! Good morning, TODville.
Thank you, Nerdy for this year post.
Good morning, TOD! Hope you all have a great day. ((hugs)) to those that need them.
Don’t know why I typed year. Wanted to type great!
Ukraine stops helping Mueller to avoid upsetting Trump: NYT
Rachel Maddow reminds viewers of former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s history in Ukraine, and reports on the suspension of Ukrainian investigations into Manafort as they dovetail with the Mueller investigation because they don’t want to risk upsetting Donald Trump when weapons deals are on the line.
Key Mueller witness runs to Russia as Ukraine courts Trump favor
Ken Vogel, reporter for The New York Times, talks with Rachel Maddow about Paul Manafort’s former colleague Konstantin Kilimnik and how a lack of cooperation from Ukraine has put him out of reach of Robert Mueller’s investigation.
Continued Trump admin turnover forces expansion of departure wall
Rachel Maddow adds yet more names to the list of high-level Donald Trump administration departures, requiring the addition of a second wall to display them all legibly.
What a perfect, uplifting post – thank you, Nerdy darlin’!
Trump, Cohen keep lawyers in dark on contents of seized documents: NYT
Michael Schmidt, reporter for The New York Times, talks with Rachel Maddow about Emmet Flood replacing Ty Cobb as presidential lawyer, and challenges facing the Trump legal team.
THE LAST WORD WITH LAWRENCE O’DONNELL 5/2/18
Giuliani: ‘president can’t be subpoenaed’
Attorneys Jill Wine-Banks and Joyce Vance say there is no legal justification for the claim a president can’t be subpoenaed except for in Rudy Giuliani’s mind. Lawrence also discusses Giuliani’s view on what would happen if Mueller subpoenaed Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner
Damn sure better happen.
Paul Ryan Warns of Subpoenas, Gridlock With Democratic Majority
By Anna Edgerton and Lisa Lee
May 2, 2018, 12:14 PM CDT
Gridlock? Isn’t that’s GOP modus operandi? Sounds like Ryan is projecting, fear mongering.
I am so sorry to hear that. All the airlines are such shitholes.
Guess what, the right wing conservatives seem to be upset because our Michelle Obama call herself “Forever First Lady.” Let the bigots stay made. She is and will always be my Forever First Lady.
Same here!
They are so unhappy. They have the WH, House, Senate, they are stealing from taxpayers left and right, hurting the poor, can take HC away from the working people and poor…..yet they are so miserable! They get mad over every little thing that they can’t control.
#BREAKING: Federal investigators wiretapped Michael Cohen’s phone before the raid on his properties, and intercepted at least one phone call between Cohen & the WH, per @NBCNews.
BWA HA HA HA H HA HA HA
I mean damn!!! you can’t make this stuff up!!!
Mob shit 101 says that you never ever ever talk on the phone.
I think the SCOTUS said it was OK for law enforcement to eavesdrop on cell phone calls because the airwaves are free. So they probably not only listened to cellphone calls they listened to landline calls. Wowza!
LOLOL!!! Apparently federal prosecutors have been wiretapping Michael Cohen’s phones leading up to the raid on his home, and office, and hotel room. I suspect that when the judge gave the okay for the raid, he or she also gave the okay for the phone tap.
These are probably men….they are such backstabbers.
You can feel the acceleration toward a confrontation never before experienced in American history …
😀 😀
You betcha ….
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Wiretaps are difficult to get. Applications require multiple layers of review, including by career lawyers in Washington, plus approval by a district court judge (not magistrate). Also they signify proof of an ongoing crime. And you don’t tap a President’s attorney lightly. https://t.co/FfVh8mA9ku— Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) May 3, 2018

DA PHUQ?
What’s next for the Trump you ask, I suspect that his lawyers will offer up a polygraph that Trump took that proves that he’s not lying about colluding with Russia.
Tribe was one of President Obama’s professors when he attended Harvard Law School. Tribe ain’t no joke.
Yup Yup …
So, we now also know the source of at least some of the exceptional level of evidence required for those no knock warrants on Cohen’s office, hotel room & home …
so….Sweden did the Cultural Appropriation thing…LOL
Hello TODbots.
GA, TODville Community.
It’s either the wheels are coming off these corrupt occupants in the WH or Karma is Finally in Control & the Wheels of Justice is slowly moving around #MuellerTime. The last 24hrs have been Insane.
Congrats, DF for your Au ⭐
Excellent Post, Lady NW. Obrigada.
❤ ❤ ❤ TODbots. {{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}
I would LOVE Oprah, Jay-Z, Bey, Obama, Tyler Perry, and many wealthy AA’s to have a BLK News station and Social Network like Blk Tweeter. Whatever happened to the buy was going to start his own BLK SN?
Never forget ….
Whoa boy
Just to clarify, the document says 70 (35 double sets) so that means 35 subpoenas, two copies each because one set goes to the defendants.
House chaplain rescinds resignation after furor over his ouster by Ryan
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/house-chaplain-rescinds-resignation-after-furor-over-his-ouster-by-ryan/2018/05/03/b770de7c-4f07-11e8-84a0-458a1aa9ac0a_story.html?utm_term=.288a803ca850
BURN
whoa isn’t this “maybe it’s time that we had a Chaplain that wasn’t a Catholic” religious discrimination ????
Yet, Democrats are persecuting Christians…..seems like Christians and the GOP are the persecutors of religious freedom.
Didn’t realize you had already posted this story … but I also posted it. Good for the priest. (I guess there’s a chance he spoke with Ryan first and is doing it this way so Ryan can “save face,” among the haters in the House, but doesn’t really sound like it.)
❤ J'OB ❤ ….No worries. We are Family. Information is Knowledge.
So true, sugar! ❤
My goodness they make me sick. He Lied! It’s just that simple.
The wiretap is such a Truth Serum. 😉
Can’t bring them to say this man is a LIAR!, He Lied!
The NYT is gutless! The NYT doesn’t have the courage to plainly inform the American people that Trump LIED when he categorically said, on Air Force 1, that he didn’t know anything about the $130,000 hush money his lawyer paid the Porn Star who alleges that she had an affair with him. Now,Trump is acknowledging that he paid the hush money to Stormy Daniels. I am convinced that Trump had to finally come clean about paying to silence Stormy, was because the FBI’s raid on his personal fixer, Michael Cohen, might have come into possession of concrete evidence that Trump payed hush money to a porn star to stop her from revealing the secret that she had a sexual affair with him.
It’s plainly obvious to me that Trump is a pathological liar.
So amusing. The priest fights back.
This is great!
Hell just froze over.
My god, he lost Neil Cavuto.
,
Right on. The US media has become, for a large part, a joke itself. I don’t know any women who will support Sarah H. Sanders because she’s become such a Trump enabler. And I’m not sure that all presidential press secretaries lie for their bosses. There may be lots of times when they beat around the bush and quibble about words. But outright, provable lies — that’s in the purview of Trump press secretaries – and that makes them vulnerable to being criticized and roasted on occasions like the WH Correspondennts’ Dinner. No sympathy for Sarah from me. Lots for Michelle Wolf who’s been demonized because she’s 1) female and 2) a woman of color.
Damn, after seeing all this glorious coverage, right here @ TOD (thank you NW), I went into my “Damn” moments of seriously missing The Obama’s & their positive spirit & sheer decency. Am going to shed a tear or two into my teacups! 😯😷😂
Jesus.
Make this happen, people.
Good practice for booting trump.
Oh, God, yes, please.
OK, it’s been a while since we unlocked the naughty mat door. You’re welcome.
Be still my heart, Michelle’s man.
DEFINITELY naughty mat material:)
no words 🙂
Goodnight, TODville.
G’Nite TOD 😉
She is a beautiful young woman– and I love the blue hair!
She’s gorgeous. I look on with pride and admiration but I don’t retweet because her privacy and safety is more important than anything.
My, my:)
Michael Avenatti is not only very smart, but he is also absolutely fearless. He and his client, Stormy Daniels, may eventually be the ones to save this country from this abominable president.
Hmmm… maybe it’s DT who should be careful. I don’t think Ivanka is going to appreciate daddy dissing hubby like that.
He should know given his background as a former military prosecutor.
Goodnight TOD ….
Aloha TOD ohana. Maybe you’ve seen some news about the volcano erupting on the Big Island. The videos are astonishing– a major crack opened in a neighborhood, and lava started bubbling out, burning everything, running down the road. This is the same area where the hurricane caused so much damage a few years ago. Everyone is being evacuated, National Guard and Civil Defense are in position. There is nothing else that can be done. Tutu Pele is in charge here. Thankfully, there have been no injuries, and in my own case, I’m on the other side of the island so cannot see, hear, or smell the action. For which I’m grateful. Though it looks awesome in the videos 🙂
An erupting volcano is probably one of the most astonishing events in nature.
It’s primeval, and utterly horrifying, and beautiful, and deeply spiritual for the Hawaiian people. Just to have a crack open in your yard or neighborhood, and lava come shooting out– cannot imagine the shock.
SO great to hear you’re alright. I thought of you immediately. Thank goodness for no injuries. Stay safe, susanne!
Thank you, Meta. Nobody’s been injured, which is wonderful. Tutu Pele is not done with us, though. Checking my phone all the time for updates.
Thanks for checking in. Glad you are safe. Bless those and keep them safe on the other side of the island.
Thank you TNmtngirl. I’m holding my breath, hoping there are no injuries. The lava moves fairly slowly along the ground, so it won’t outrun you, but it can burst up out of the ground anywhere in the district. The USGS guy told us that if our floorboards feel hot, run. 😦 !!!
Glad you are safe. Prayers to you and all those affected by the earthquake and the volcano erupting.
Thank you sjterrid. So far, nobody’s injured. Two structures have burnt, and some roads will not recover. It’s a beautiful part of the island, very lush and rugged, with tough people. And we all know we’re living on Pele’s mountains!
My husband and I are planning to go to Maui the first week in December. I’m so looking forward to it.
New post.
